Do you ever enter lotteries/raffles/draws?

    So, as the title says, do you? I sometimes enter raffles if it's for a good cause, but I mostly shy away from that kind of thing because usually you just end up spending a lot of money for nothing. How about you? :O

    Also, if this thread already exists, I apologize.

    Nope. Big waste of money, and my money is precious: I never have much of it. :/

    I do if I ever find money on the ground or something like that (and only if there is no possibility of finding the person who dropped it.) Never with my own.

    Apparently you have more chances of getting struck by lightning (no not the admin) than winning the lottery? :|

    Raffles and draws are fun to enter, since most of the time they're for good causes. But the lottery, usually my dad's the one who enters the lottery, but he comes to me for numbers, though I usually just give him birthday dates. Annnd he hasn't won anything, so I guess I'm not much of a lucky charm. :<

    scratchies are fun to play though. (b'-')b

    For religious reasons, I avoid entering any lotteries. Lotteries come under gambling, and gambling is a sin in my religion, for obvious reasons.

    Well, no. Unless I can enter just for buying something, because then I will have a reason.
    But otherwise, I don't because I have a one in a million chance...

    I buy lucky dip Lotto tickets or scratchcards for my cousins on their birthdays, but that's about it.

    I also enter raffles if it's for a good cause like our church, village hall or children's playing field funds.

    the only time I enter those is the following:

    1.) I'm not paying for it
    2.) I steal a ticket
    3.) its free

    Yea, thats about it, I'm not going to pay all of that money on something about luck

    To be fair, if you play our National Lottery with Lotto tickets, it only works out about $4 (USD) a week.

    I don't, but my dad does. It's only about $3-$4 every two weeks.

    I enter them if I can enter for free. XD I wouldn't enter the lottery or anything.

    Wasn't there some politician that won the lottery 3 times? XD

    Oh you mean the stupidity tax? I never enter because you have a better chance of seeing pigs fly than getting the money. I don't see a point in doing it if the odds are next to zero.

    No. I don't like the idea that my money can be wasted so easily based on luck. Needless to say, I'm not a gambler. XD;

    You can't win if you don't enter. I would, but I'm 17, so... I legally can't play the lottery, yet. XD

    Also, scratch-offs are great. :D I expect to have a gambling problem sometime in the near future.
